“Game went spectacularly well for the Linguists after a streak of 3 losses, including the humiliating 0-5 against the Slim Chance Brigade in the last game. Elves were able to capitalize on the brutality of their mighty blow players, and Nuffle blew on their armour and casualty dice to heat them up before hitting the humans in the face with them.

The Berserkers received in the first half, and tried to intimidate the Linguists by standing their guarding, tackling pieces next to the elves... but they were nimble enough to move supporting pieces in to get the blocks they needed, including a crucial 1 die block against the ogre who was stunned, probably surprised that someone dared hit him in the first place.

First kill was a rookie lineman, and the coach immediately gave the thumbs down when the apothecary started shuffling towards the pitch. Shortly thereafter, the elves crowded around the fallen ogre and jumped on his head. He came within a short, curly ogre hair's breadth of blissful death, but this time the coach allowed the apothecary to rush onto the field and save the big fellow's life. He'll need to take the next game off, but will live to tell the tale.

Elves equalized quite easily before halftime, and thanks to some fortunate KO rolls (all three players stayed unconscious), lined up 11 vs 7 players when the humans kicked in the second half.

What followed was an exercise in pure, unadulterated elven ultra-violence. The humans tried to dodge away, at times so skillfully that some in the audience wondered if perhaps they had some elf blood in their veins... but on turn 12, the last human was carried off the pitch on a stretcher after being viciously gang fouled. Elves slowly made their way down the field, unimpeded by other players, and eventually made their touchdown on turn 16 of the game.

Game marked my second pitch clear ever--first one was also by this team.

Thanks to the opponent who took my hot dice in good cheer. When Nuffle gives you a game like this, what better to do than laugh at it... See you around!”
